| − | * This is used in a few situations. Use it if you'd prefer a higher initial spike of damage with a short [[DoT]] rather than Immolation's long [[DoT]]. Another use is to pre-damage mobs when you have an unavoidable group [[pull]]. In groups, it is best used when faced with a large group of grey mobs. Almost always hit [[Feign Death]] after the trap is triggered. The textbook example for the proper use of this trap is Herod in the Scarlet Monastery. After he dies, several low-level mobs run into the room. They hit hard, but have glass jaws. An explosive trap combined with another group member's [[AoE]] is guaranteed to take them out before they hit anyone. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * '''Explosive Trap''' trades with [[Immolation Trap]] for the best damage per second to a single target (depending on what level you are). Ultimately though, Immolation Trap will do the most damage per second to a single target but Explosive Trap will be better for multiple [[mob|mobs]]. Even though this is true though, you will want to use [[Immolation Trap]] more often due to the horrendous mana cost of '''Explosive Trap'''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Explosive Traps are also useful when fighting Elementals, as elementals generally have heavy armor and are immune to stings. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * They are very useful in all aoe type situations and if you place them in front of the priest in a situation where healer aggro seems likely they will almost always divert mob/s going for the healer to you. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *Explosive trap can give the hunter enough burst aggro to momentarily hold the aggro of multiple mobs off a warlock or mage doing heavier sustained AoE. Aspect of the monkey is a must in this scenario, coupled with [[Deterrence]] for survival hunters. |
